Abstract

This study was performed to establish a simple and rapid method for measuring thrombin activity based on weight of fibrin clot formed. The new method was based on the weight measurement of fibrin clot after enzymatic reaction of thrombin with fibrinogen. The fibrin formation depended upon the activities of thrombin used, temperature, incubation time, and centrifugation time. The fibrin formation was increased proportionally up to 1.0 unit/ml of thrombin activity, 4.0mg/ml of fibrinogen concentration, and 5 min of incubation time at 37$^{\circ}C$. The fibrin clot formed was stable by centrifugation at 3,000$\times$g for 5min. This simple assay based on weight of fibrin after centrifugation would be useful for identifying natural food anticoagulants by inhibiting thrombin.

본 연구는 피브린의 무게를 측정하는 방법에 의하여 간단하고 단순하게 트롬빈활성을 측정하는 방법을 확립하기 위하여 수행되었다. 이 새로운 트롬빈측정 법은 트롬빈이 기질인 피브리노겐과 반응 후 생성된 피브린의 무게를 측정한다. 피브린의 생성은 사용한 트롬빈의 효소활성, 반응온도, 반응시간 및 원심분리의 시간에 의존하였다. 피브린의 생성은 37$^{\circ}C$에서 트롬빈활성이 1.0 unit/ml 이내, 4.0mg/ml의 피브리노겐 농도 및 반응시간이 5분 이내에는 직선적으로 증가하였다. 그리고 생성된 피브린은 3,000$\times$g에서 5분간 원심분리의 경우에 안정하였다. 이 새로운 피브린 측정 법은 트롬빈을 저해하는 천연물질을 탐색하는데 유행하게 사용될 것으로 기대된다.
